As this type of switching regulator,
A typical example is a half-bridge type as shown in the circuit diagram of FIG. This switching regulator turns on a pair of transistors Q1 and Q2, which are switching transistors, alternately, and transfers a DC voltage obtained from a commercial power supply 1 through a filter 2 and a rectifying and smoothing circuit 3 to the main transformer T1. 1
In addition to the current in the secondary winding L11, a current is passed in the opposite direction alternately to induce an AC voltage in the secondary windings L12 and L13 of the main transformer T1 determined by the winding ratio with L11. Then, it is rectified by diodes D1 and D2, and smoothed by a choke coil CL and an electrolytic capacitor C1 to obtain a DC output voltage V put at output terminals 7 and 7'. The error amplifier A22 compares the detected output voltage with the voltage of the reference power supply E1 and compares the detected output voltage with the voltage of the reference power supply E1.
The comparator C of the pulse width modulator 4 generates an error signal as shown in FIG.
Compare with the sawtooth wave signal in Figure a. And a NOR circuit synchronized with the signal generated by the flip-flop circuit F only during the period when the sawtooth wave signal exceeds the error signal.
Due to the action of NOR, 1 of drive transformer T2
Drive transistor Q connected to the next side
3. Q4 is turned on alternately. By turning on the pair of transistors Q1 and Q2 on the secondary side in the same way as the transistors on the primary side, pulse width control is performed and the output voltage Vput is maintained at a predetermined value.

Error amplifier A11 has the role of detecting overcurrent and performing protective operation, and what is error amplifier A22?
OR connected. Further, E2 is an auxiliary power source.
However, with such conventional switching regulators, when the load suddenly becomes heavy, the main transformer T
The core of transistor Q1 becomes magnetically saturated, and a large capacitor current flows through either transistor Q1 or transistor Q2, easily causing damage to the transistor. The time from time t1 to time t3 in FIG. 2, which is an operation waveform diagram, represents the state when this magnetic saturation occurs.

In other words, if the load suddenly becomes heavy and the voltage generated by the error amplifier A22 becomes low at time t1, (-)
The core of the main transformer T1, which had been slightly magnetized in this direction, is immediately magnetized in the opposite direction (+) by the current in the primary winding L11. Then, at time t2, when the maximum magnetic flux density in the (+) direction reaches +B M and magnetic saturation occurs, the current in the primary winding L11 increases rapidly, and any switching transistor that is "on" is turned "off". A large collector current flows until time t3. The main transformer of this type of switching regulator is designed so that the magnetic flux changes between the positive and negative magnetic flux saturation ranges at the maximum pulse width, and the switching transistors used are also suitable for this. Destruction is often caused by excessive collector current that flows transiently.

The overall operation of the switching regulator according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 3 is almost the same as that of the conventional switching regulator explained in FIG. 1, but the differences will be explained below. do.
In FIG. 4, before the time t 0 when the load suddenly becomes heavier, the transistors Q1 and Q2 are alternately turned on, thereby correctly controlling the pulse width. Core magnetic flux density B of main transformer T1
also changes within a range that does not reach the saturation magnetic flux density ±B M , which is the same as in the case of Fig. 2.

Now, when the load suddenly becomes heavier at time to, error amplifier A2 turns off transistor Q5 and P1
An attempt is made to lower the voltage at the point and widen the width of the pulse voltage at point P2 of the pulse width modulator 4. However, since the capacitor C4 of the time constant circuit 5 is discharged, the voltage at the P1 point does not drop suddenly. By the time the voltage at point P1 reaches a certain low level at time t11,
Multiple pulse voltages are generated at point P2. Furthermore, the direction of the current in the primary winding L11 of the main transformer T1 changes between the (+) direction and the (-) direction in accordance with the number of pulse voltages at the P2 point. In FIG. 4, the direction of this current changes once between time to and time t11, and the direction in which the magnetic flux density B of the core of the main transformer T1 changes also changes in the same way. Furthermore, by time t11, the width of the pulse voltage at point P2 gradually expands, and the width of the pulse voltage at point P2 increases.
The change in the magnetic flux density B of the core due to the current in the next winding L11 also increases. Therefore, the value of the magnetic flux density B when magnetized in the same direction also increases sequentially.

第4図では例えば(−)方向の磁束密度BがB
1,B2と順次大きくなつている。このことは次

In Figure 4, for example, the magnetic flux density B in the (-) direction is B
1, B2 and so on. This means that the maximum magnetic flux density of the magnetic flux density B in the opposite direction that occurs next +
This is equivalent to increasing the amount of change allowed between B M - B M.

ることはない。
Therefore, at time t11, when the width of the pulse voltage at point P2, which has gradually expanded, begins to produce the largest pulse voltage, the permissible amount of change in the magnetic flux density B also increases.
The pulse width at point P2 begins to widen and becomes the largest,
Even if a pulse voltage having the same width as that between time t1 and time t3 in FIG. 2 occurs between time t11 and time t12, the magnetic flux density B of the core does not easily reach the maximum magnetic flux density +B M.

This is because in the magnetization characteristics shown in Fig. 5, for example, the present invention magnetizes from a magnetic flux density of -B2 in the (+) direction, whereas the switching regulator shown in Fig. 1 magnetizes from a magnetic flux density of about -B1 in the (+) direction. This becomes clear if we compare the case of magnetization.

Note that when the load becomes lighter, transistor Q5 turns on and a collector current that is larger than the current of constant current circuit 6 flows due to constant voltage V CC , and the voltage at point P1 rises quickly and there is no delay in response. .

An input corresponding to the detected output voltage value is applied to the input side of the pulse width modulator. Additionally, when the load suddenly becomes heavy, the change in the input of the pulse width modulator for increasing the pulse width of the base input of a pair of transistors connected to the primary side of the main transformer is delayed. .

As a result, when the load suddenly becomes heavy and a large current flows through the primary winding of the main transformer, the magnetization of the core is increased in the opposite direction to the magnetization caused by the current, causing the switching transistor to become saturated due to core saturation. Damage can be prevented.

Moreover, when the load suddenly becomes lighter, the change in the input of the pulse width modulator to reduce the pulse width of the base input is not delayed as it would be when the load becomes heavier. Therefore, in this case, the voltage of the smoothing capacitor of the rectifier/smoothing circuit increases and is damaged, and the problem of overvoltage occurring at the output terminal is prevented.

In this way, the switching regulator of the present invention solves the technical problem when the load suddenly becomes heavier, but it also solves the problem in the opposite case, that is, when the load suddenly becomes lighter. Nothing exists. The present invention is not limited to the half-bridge type as in the embodiment, but
Turning on pairs of switching transistors alternately
The present invention can be applied to various other types of switching regulators, such as full bridge type and push-pull type switching regulators. In addition, compared to a single-stone switching regulator that uses magnetization in only one direction of the main transformer core, this type of switch allows the maximum magnetic flux density of the main transformer core to be lower and its shape to be smaller. You can certainly take advantage of the advantages of the angular regulator. Furthermore, in the embodiment, the logic of the pulse width modulator 4 and the logic of the error amplifier A2 are merely examples. The above explanation was given for the case where a decreasing change in the voltage of the error amplifier A2 increases the width of the pulse voltage at the point P2 and also increases the pulse width of the base input to the pair of transistors Q1 and Q2. In a case where an increasing change in the voltage of the error amplifier A2 increases the pulse width, a similar configuration can be made by delaying the change with respect to the increase in the voltage of the error amplifier A2.
